For the most updated status of standards mode enablement please refer to PAM
With Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 (IE9), based on the layout engine Trident 5.0, IE introduced a new IE9 layout engine mode with a new and incompatible IFRAME handling, which separates the IE8 compatible document modes from the IE9 and higher compatible document modes.
Internet Explorer 9 and higher can mix only HTML code in one web document, which is compatible for the IE9-engine modes or for the IE8-engine modes.
If you want to run SAP web applications in the same window (such as SAP Clients like Portal or NWBC for html), the applications should run in the same document mode family as the portal.
For specific installed based UI technologies and releases SAP offers also standards mode rendering, see table:
